Hezekiah's Prayer — Turning to Face the Wall
Hezekiah's prayer is raw and personal: not a theological argument, just a king reminding God of a life lived wholeheartedly, and asking to be remembered. God's answer came swiftly, with fifteen more years granted — a reminder that even a prayer prayed through tears in private reaches heaven.
